Detect Roof Leaks Before They Cause Costly Damage

Brady Infrared’s advanced thermal surveys pinpoint hidden moisture in roofing systems—saving you from structural damage, interior loss, and insurance claims.

Why Roof Moisture Surveys Matter

Water intrusion can silently degrade roofing systems, leading to mold, rot, insulation failure, and costly repairs. Our infrared roof surveys detect trapped moisture long before it’s visible.

Whether you manage a school campus, hospital, warehouse, or office complex, Brady Infrared’s precision imaging gives you clarity and confidence.

Low Slope Insulated Roofs

Undetected moisture can seep into roof structures, causing leaks and potential damage to decks and interiors. Brady Infrared uses advanced infrared technology to identify hidden wet insulation in built-up, single-ply, and sprayed poly-foam roof systems.

Drone-Based Inspections

Brady Infrared’s drone-based surveys collect accurate thermal data of your roof faster and safer than conventional on-roof inspections. Aerial images provide a comprehensive evaluation of the roof and pinpoint areas that require further, detailed on-roof investigation.

Verification Testing

An accurate roof moisture survey is a two-step process. First, Brady Infrared uses thermal imaging to identify potential areas of moisture intrusion. Then our team performs on-roof verification testing with a combination of non-destructive and probe-type electrical impedance meters to determine the full extent of the trapped moisture.

How Our Roof Surveys Work

Our approach combines multiple imaging techniques based on your facility’s layout and construction materials.

Step 1:
Inspect

Step 2:
Scan

Step 3:
Analyze

Step 4:
Verify

Step 5:
Report


Our 5-step process ensures thorough and accurate roof surveys from start to finish. Each step is designed to capture critical data, verify findings, and provide you with actionable insights.
Infrared scanning during optimal roof cooling hours
To ensure the most accurate results, we perform thermal scans during the hours when roofs are cooling, maximizing the contrast of thermal patterns.
Drone-based aerial imaging for large or inaccessible roofs
Drones equipped with thermal cameras are used to inspect expansive roofs or those that are difficult to access, providing detailed, high-resolution images.
Fixed-wing surveys for broad industrial or government installations
For large facilities, we utilize fixed-wing aircraft for overhead surveys, ensuring wide-area coverage and precision.
Moisture mapping for roof membranes and insulation
Our surveys include moisture mapping to pinpoint areas where water intrusion may be compromising insulation or roofing materials.
Detailed reporting with annotated thermograms and moisture verification
We provide clients with clear, easy-to-understand reports, including annotated thermograms and verification of moisture levels for informed decision-making.
